Windows 10: Filing Photos

Two days ago I switched from 10 to 11. Today I opened my "Pictures" area in File Explorer. I expected it to look different, but I don't like the lack of ability for me to work with my photos. I have hundred of thousands of photos all in main folders with multiple subfolders for most of the main folders. I often have several main folders showing with their subfolders showing at the same time. I can then work between these, easily moving something from one subfolder to another subfolder.

How to get rid of raw file support in windows photo viewer?




I have downloaded this, and it did not work; photo viewer is not in the list of programs in Open With or Default App. I used option 2 step 3, followed by step 5 to 9.

Hi Don,

We would like to ask some questions to better assist you with this issue.

• What is the build and version of your Windows 10?
• Did you receive any error messages/codes when you tried accessing your photo files?
• Are you trying to access your photos through File Explorer or Photo app?
• Did you make any changes prior to the issue?

Also, we suggest that you use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted files. System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. You may visit this
article for the steps.

We'll wait for your reply.

Regards.

 

Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

Might be helpful to list what i've done I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
